1 # The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> which came to Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030> against the Gentiles <01471>;
2 Against Egypt <04714>, against the army <02428> of Pharaohnecho <06549> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, which was by the river <05104> Euphrates <06578> in Carchemish <03751>, which Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> smote <05221> (8689) in the fourth <07243> year <08141> of Jehoiakim <03079> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063>.
3 Order <06186> (8798) ye the buckler <04043> and shield <06793>, and draw near <05066> (8798) to battle <04421>.
4 Harness <0631> (8798) the horses <05483>; and get up <05927> (8798), ye horsemen <06571>, and stand forth <03320> (8690) with your helmets <03553>; furbish <04838> (8798) the spears <07420>, and put on <03847> (8798) the brigandines <05630>.
5 Wherefore have I seen <07200> (8804) them dismayed <02844> and turned <05472> (8737) away back <0268>? and their mighty ones <01368> are beaten down <03807> (8714), and are fled <05127> (8804) apace <04498>, and look not back <06437> (8689): for fear <04032> was round about <05439>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> .
6 Let not the swift <07031> flee away <05127> (8799), nor the mighty man <01368> escape <04422> (8735) ; they shall stumble <03782> (8804), and fall <05307> (8804) toward the north <06828> by <03027> the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>.
7 Who is this that cometh up <05927> (8799) as a flood <02975>, whose waters <04325> are moved <01607> (8691) as the rivers <05104>?
8 Egypt <04714> riseth up <05927> (8799) like a flood <02975>, and his waters <04325> are moved <01607> (8704) like the rivers <05104>; and he saith <0559> (8799), I will go up <05927> (8799), and will cover <03680> (8762) the earth <0776>; I will destroy <06> (8686) the city <05892> and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof.
9 Come up <05927> (8798), ye horses <05483>; and rage <01984> (8703), ye chariots <07393>; and let the mighty men <01368> come forth <03318> (8799); the Ethiopians <03568> and the Libyans <06316>, that handle <08610> (8802) the shield <04043>; and the Lydians <03866>, that handle <08610> (8802) and bend <01869> (8802) the bow <07198>.
10 For this is the day <03117> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>, a day <03117> of vengeance <05360>, that he may avenge <05358> (8736) him of his adversaries <06862>: and the sword <02719> shall devour <0398> (8804), and it shall be satiate <07646> (8804) and made drunk <07301> (8804) with their blood <01818>: for the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> hath a sacrifice <02077> in the north <06828> country <0776> by the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>.
11 Go up <05927> (8798) into Gilead <01568>, and take <03947> (8798) balm <06875>, O virgin <01330> , the daughter <01323> of Egypt <04714>: in vain <07723> shalt thou use many <07235> (8689) medicines <07499>; for thou shalt not be cured <08585>.
12 # The nations <01471> have heard <08085> (8804) of thy shame <07036>, and thy cry <06682> hath filled <04390> (8804) the land <0776>: for the mighty man <01368> hath stumbled <03782> (8804) against the mighty <01368>, and they are fallen <05307> (8804) both <08147> together <03162>.
13 The word <01697> that the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8765) to Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030> , how Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> should come <0935> (8800) and smite <05221> (8687) the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
14 Declare <05046> (8685) ye in Egypt <04714>, and publish <08085> (8685) in Migdol <04024>, and publish <08085> (8685) in Noph <05297> and in Tahpanhes <08471>: say <0559> (8798) ye, Stand fast <03320> (8690) , and prepare <03559> (8685) thee; for the sword <02719> shall devour <0398> (8804) round about <05439> thee.
15 Why are thy valiant <047> men swept away <05502> (8738)? they stood <05975> (8804) not, because the LORD <03068> did drive <01920> (8804) them.
16 He made many <07235> (8689) to fall <03782> (8802), yea, one <0376> fell <05307> (8804) upon another <07453>: and they said <0559> (8799), Arise <06965> (8798), and let us go again <07725> (8799) to our own people <05971>, and to the land <0776> of our nativity <04138>, from <06440> the oppressing <03238> (8802) sword <02719>.
17 They did cry <07121> (8804) there, Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> is but a noise <07588>; he hath passed <05674> (8689) the time appointed <04150>.
18 As I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the King <04428>, whose name <08034> is the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, Surely as Tabor <08396> is among the mountains <02022>, and as Carmel <03760> by the sea <03220> , so shall he come <0935> (8799).
19 O thou daughter <01323> dwelling <03427> (8802) in Egypt <04714>, furnish <06213> (8798) thyself to go into captivity <03627> <01473>: for Noph <05297> shall be waste <08047> and desolate <03341> (8738) without an inhabitant <03427> (8802).
20 Egypt <04714> is like a very fair <03304> heifer <05697>, but destruction <07171> cometh <0935> (8804); it cometh out <0935> (8804) of the north <06828>.
21 Also her hired men <07916> are in the midst <07130> of her like fatted <04770> bullocks <05695>; for they also are turned back <06437> (8689), and are fled away <05127> (8804) together <03162>: they did not stand <05975> (8804) , because the day <03117> of their calamity <0343> was come <0935> (8804) upon them, and the time <06256> of their visitation <06486>.
22 The voice <06963> thereof shall go <03212> (8799) like a serpent <05175>; for they shall march <03212> (8799) with an army <02428>, and come <0935> (8804) against her with axes <07134>, as hewers <02404> (8802) of wood <06086>.
23 They shall cut down <03772> (8804) her forest <03293>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, though it cannot be searched <02713> (8735); because they are more <07231> (8804) than the grasshoppers <0697>, and are innumerable <0369> <04557>.
24 The daughter <01323> of Egypt <04714> shall be confounded <03001> (8689); she shall be delivered <05414> (8738) into the hand <03027> of the people <05971> of the north <06828>.
25 The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, saith <0559> (8804); Behold, I will punish <06485> (8802) the multitude <0527> (8676) <0528> of No <04996>, and Pharaoh <06547>, and Egypt <04714>, with their gods <0430>, and their kings <04428>; even Pharaoh <06547>, and all them that trust <0982> (8802) in him:
26 And I will deliver <05414> (8804) them into the hand <03027> of those that seek <01245> (8764) their lives <05315>, and into the hand <03027> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and into the hand <03027> of his servants <05650>: and afterward <0310> it shall be inhabited <07931> (8799), as in the days <03117> of old <06924>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
27 But fear <03372> (8799) not thou, O my servant <05650> Jacob <03290>, and be not dismayed <02865> (8735) , O Israel <03478>: for, behold, I will save <03467> (8688) thee from afar off <07350>, and thy seed <02233> from the land <0776> of their captivity <07628>; and Jacob <03290> shall return <07725> (8804), and be in rest <08252> (8804) and at ease <07599> (8768), and none shall make him afraid <02729> (8688).
28 Fear <03372> (8799) thou not, O Jacob <03290> my servant <05650>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: for I am with thee; for I will make <06213> (8799) a full end <03617> of all the nations <01471> whither I have driven <05080> (8689) thee: but I will not make <06213> (8799) a full end <03617> of thee, but correct <03256> (8765) thee in measure <04941>; yet will I not leave thee wholly <05352> (8763) unpunished <05352> (8762).
